The Aware Parenting Podcast

In this episode, we talk about sleep from an Aware Parenting perspective, which is the third way with sleep, where we can have secure attachment AND restful sleep! We answered questions on: the three things needed for sound sleep, co-sleeping, children moving to their own bed, closeness before bed, talking lots before bed, thumb sucking to sleep, waking up after one sleep cycle, waking up lots in the night, and lots more!

Food and Feelings Part 2

In this episode, we talk about food and feelings for kids. We explain how babies and children learn to interpret when they are hungry and when they are upset, and how it’s never too late to help them reconnect with their natural wisdom around food. We share our own experiences with our teenagers when they were babies and children. We talk about the power of attachment play to help children when they are eating to suppress feelings, and how we can offer loving limits when a child is using food as a control pattern. Most of all, we invite you to have lots of self-compassion as you listen to this podcast!

In this episode, we talk about the relationships between food and feelings for adults. We discuss how food can be both a source of nourishment and a control pattern (way to suppress feelings) and how compassion for ourselves when we're eating for suppression makes such a difference.

We share about the power of presence and pleasure with food, as well as receiving. We also include the importance of listening to how our past affects our present relationship with food, including our ancestral lineages.

Part two will be about the relationship between food and feelings for children.

In this episode, we talk about the causes of children's big feelings, ways we can respond helpfully and responses that aren't so helpful for children. We include the balance of attention and why it is central to Aware Parenting. We share why children expressing big feelings can be different to adults expressing big feelings, and why our own inner work is vital if we are to be able to welcome our children's tears and tantrums.

In this episode, we talk about how Aware Parenting isn't about supporting children to fit into this paradigm, but supporting them to change the paradigm. We share how Aware Parenting supports children to stay deeply connected with themselves and to be able to meet differences with compassion. We talk about the importance of our vision for our children and for the future world, and how our parenting helps them to be able to meet an uncertain future with creativity and openness.
